LibriVox recording of The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot
The novel details the lives of Tom and Maggie Tulliver, a brother and sister growing up on the river Floss near the village of St. Oggs, evidently in the 1820’s, after the Napoleonic Wars but prior to the first Reform Bill (1832). The novel spans a period of 10-15 years, from Tom and Maggie’s childhood up until their deaths in a flood on the Floss. The book is fictional autobiography in part, reflecting the disgrace that George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) herself had while in a lengthy relationship with a married man, George Henry Lewes.
Maggie Tulliver holds the central role in the book, as both her relationship with her older brother Tom, and her romantic relationships with Philip Wakem, a hunchbacked, but sensitive and intellectual, friend, and with Stephen Guest, a vivacious young socialite in St. Oggs and fiance of Maggie’s cousin Lucy Deane, constitute the most significant narrative threads: (Wikipedia)

This is an important book and a great story. Some of the readers are excellent but a very few are quite weak. Libravox should replace several of the chapters with versions read by better readers. Nevertheless, if you can be patient with the bad readings, there are enough good ones to make it worthwhile.

I truly enjoy listening to the books that are read and I truly appreciate the efforts that various readers make when they take the time to read to others but there comes along a book which is just so interesting and you get so engrossed in listening then toward the end when the good parts come along comes a reader who does not set the volume right or you can't understand what he/she is saying and it ruins the whole book. This is such a reading. I truly enjoyed this book and would recommend it highly to others but the last three or four chapter readings ruin the enjoyment of the ending. I sometimes wonder if the reader listens to what they have recorded. No disrespect here and cudos to their even reading. Mostly I enjoy one reader but am grateful for everyone that takes the time to read.
Wonderful storyline - Enjoy
